RM2K VALUE! FONT PROBLEM

Posts

I seem to be having an issue with the ingame text using RM2k VALUE! - whenever I try testing a game using the RPG_RT from the patch, everything works fine except that on the item menu, all the :s are replaced by some weird symbol, like this.

Has anyone else had this problem and if so, how did you fix it? I would really like to use the Shift key and MP3 support. It seems odd that I haven't been able to find anyone else with this problem, since I can't get it to go away whatever I try, even using the RPG_RT directly from other games made with the patch.

I'd really like to get rid of LockeZ. His play style is way too unpredictable. He's always like this too. If he ran a country, he'd just kill and imprison people at random until crime stopped.

Sounds like maybe your regional settings in Windows are set to something other then English. That can affect how symbols appear.

My theory is further corroborated by the fact that you say say "some weird symbol, like this." and then there's no symbol that I can see. If you typed a symbol there, it's a symbol specific to some other regional settings and doesn't show up in English Windows.

Also I've never heard of RM2K VALUE! but that doesn't mean a lot since I stopped using RPG Maker 2000 when RPG Maker XP came out and made it 100% obsolete.

The issue is with whoever translated that RPG_RT.exe you're using. The character for the ":" is held within the executable itself, and it's actually quite simple to change the character to whatever you want if you have some knowledge about hex-editting.

Also I've never heard of RM2K VALUE!
RM2K VALUE!, also known as RM2K v1.51, is basically RM2K fitted with most of the good technical stuff that RM2K3 brought to the table. Namely MP3 support, more concurrent pictures on screen, and so forth (no side-view battles though!). It's awesome as far as I've used it and it's backwards compatible with all RM2K games.

EDIT: Belated grammar fix!

Oh, I have heard of it then. I just didn't know what it was called.
I have tried RPG_RTs from multiple sources and they all do the same thing. I guess I'll have to try changing the regional settings or whatever.

LockeZ, just FYI, the word 'this' on my original post was a link.

Edit: Well, I tried the 'Regional and Language' settings and it was set to English (UK). I tried switching to (US) just to see if it made any difference, but no luck. =/

Have you tried using MS Gothic and MS Mincho fonts instead? 'cause VALUE tends to use those fonts. (and yeah, I'm using VALUE as well for my translation ;)

When I have thought of other solutions, I'll post here.
